Case Kolink Victory ATX Gaming Case
Power Supply 550W 80Plus Bronze Rated PSU
CPU Intel Core i7-7700K @ 4.6GHz Kaby Lake Quad Core Processor
Motherboard Gigabyte Z170X Designare (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX
Cooler Sapphire Vapour-X CPU Cooler
Memory 16GB DDR4 Dual Channel Kit
Primary Hard Drive Intel 540 Series 240GB SATA Solid State Drive
Secondary Hard Drive 2TB SATA 6Gb/s Hard Drive
Graphics Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Graphics Card
Audio 7.1 High Definition Audio (read On Board)
Operating System Windows 10 64 Bit
3 year RTB Warranty
Personally I think this is a cracking deal for a latest Intel/nvidia based PC. Overclocked Kabylake I7, 16gb of good DDR4, decent MB, SSd and HDD, GTX 1070 awesomeness, Win 10 and a 3 YEAR warranty.
Usual disclaimers for the cold voters:
1: No I have not done a detailed PCpartpicker build for this but based on Avg prices it will be close and they do it for you (removes the fun but this way you have someone to shout if it wont power up apart from yourself!)
2: Yes its Windows 10 - get over it
3: CPU cooling - I was not familiar with this cooler but reviews seem good and its quiet http://www.kitguru.net/components/cooling/luke-hill/sapphire-vapor-x-vapour-chamber-cpu-cooler-review/
4: Yes its a Z170 MB - Are there any real advantages to the Z270 not really but there are no doubt some that will disagree. Plus this is not a budget board its fully loaded.
5: It has a 3 year warranty - building your own is fun - but you wont get this level of cover on all components (yes its RTB but its covered)
6: OCUK - Bought plenty of stuff off them and found them to be good. No doubt there will be some that say they are the devil incarnate - perhaps but I have found them to be fine over many years.
7: spec- something you don't like? Then see if they will change it and do a deal for you - don't moan here.
Now all I need to do is find how to spend £1099 without she who must be obeyed noticing....

Here's a different reason to vote cold.
My son ordered a system from OCUK a few years ago and it was simply posted in a double corrugated cardboard box containing the PC case retail box holding the PC and no additional padding. On receipt the packaging had no signs of damage but removing the system from the packaging one of the corners of the case was so badly crushed the side panel could not be removed.
He eventually got the system back over a week later however they refused to replace the entire system and they only replaced the case despite the system having clearly been badly handled and or likely dropped. Within a year the drive and motherboard failed.
If you are going to order a prebuild do so from a company that packages systems to protect them in transit properly.
Why do they always cheap out on the power supply in these pre-builds?

Or save even more go for Skylake instead, almost identical performance & cheaper too.
I just picked up an
i5 6600k for just under £150
Gigabyte Z170xp £54
Xigmatek Asgard case £15
8GB Ddr4 £38
240gb ssd £40
If you shop around & keep an eye out & have a little luck you can do a quality build at budget prices

Lol so true.
Probably because its one of the parts most people dont know about or research and they can bulk buy them cheap and PSUs are good for 10 years basically without getting out dated.

Seems decent. Worth noting that the case appears to be just 17cm wide which is actually quite slim for an ATX (a good thing imo)

Yeah, very good deal tbh. Recently built a PC for somebody based around a 6700K and an RX 480 and it came to more than this...:neutral_face:

Same, I built one back in November with a 6700k and a Z170, GTX 1070 and it came out way higher than this.

Also just noticed description seems to state: "Intel 7th Generation Core i5 7600K overclocked to 4.6GHz!" So would double check. Otherwise it's a good deal considering price of the parts off the shelve just now.

Hi Play, my desc or theirs both have I7 plastered all over them? Apologies if I missed something - AH just seen its theirs - must be a typo I7 is mentioned twice elsewhere? Based on the specs cant be an I5 - they wont have a leg to stand on would guess typo

Antec 900 was a nice case too, they cost themselves some money there for the want of a bit of polystyrene

Last PC I ordered from OCUK(3 months ago) came in a branded OCUK PC specific box on the inside and the system itself was back inside the box for the case with the internals of the case all packed with specifically cut foam and foam strips. That looks more like the box inside the box that the system came in. Honestly the one thing I dislike about OCUK as they clearly brand the boxes as theirs, and when people have problems a lot of the time I'm half convinced it's the couriers that are at the boxes(possibly to see if there is something worth stealing) or will damage things and then repack them so it doesn't look like it's their fault.
On the plus side if your motherboard and drives failed within 12 months they will replace those without any hassle. Generally I've never had any issues with returns with OCUK, quite a few times they've let me upgrade if they have something better on offer and can't do a like for like.

Just bought a system from OcUK. Wouldn't trust their description. In the email announcing it, the description also stated Z270 Mobo. Almost certain that this is an i5. Some aspects of their setup are utterly shambolic.
Also, if anything goes wrong, don't mention it on their forums. The OcUK premium also seems to buy you a dose of OcUK fan boy vitriol if you have the temerity to receive poor customer service.
On the other hand, the system I was sent was insanely well packaged. Wouldn't worry on that front.
